Comments on: Kerry: WTF http://www.sportsgamerblog.com/2006/10/31/kerry-wtf/ Two guys who love Sports Gaming on their PCs and consoles rant and rave about various stuff.

We're used to it from both sides. Kerry's an elitist snob? Yeah, we knew that too. Republicans clinging to it like a drowning swimmer? Shocking.<br/><br/>I am in favor of making Senate and House terms 4 years each just so we don't have to go through this crap every 2 years. There are those who say that the frequent elections are good because they inspire civic participation and debate and all, but do you hear anyone talking about their plans for dealing with Iran, fixing current and future budget problems, etc. No, we get to debate lurid passages from some guy's novel instead.

The current regime has botched an entire war...which is worse?<br/><br/>I'm glad that Kerry is trying to stay on the offensive, as well he should, but I highly doubt this changes the minds of many swing voters.

He misspoke and garbled a line, which was a careless thing to do. The current regime has botched an entire war…which is worse?

I’m glad that Kerry is trying to stay on the offensive, as well he should, but I highly doubt this changes the minds of many swing voters.

Butcher a comment that was supposed to insult the administration and make it sound like if you don't go to school you'll be stuck in the military. <br/><br/>It's nice to see Bush up there waving that American flag saying, "See, I told you the Democrats hate the soldiers. Remember me? I was in the National Guard. I love the soldiers. Vote Republican... we love soldiers." Good job John.
